I have a spider on my quilt!!! It's a spider on my spider web quilt. OK, ok, soooooo.....I have a weird sense of humor. But that is what makes life interesting. It certainly keeps everyone on their toes! It's a cute spider too, as it has a curly queue thingy on its back.
This is my spider web quilt. I started this quilt back in Nov/2013. I finished the top in 2014. It doesn't take me long to make a quilt, if I want to get it done, however getting around to quilting it is another story. I put it down to being busy quilting for others, that when I am done theirs, I am more in the mood to do piecing.
However, this year is going to be different!!! Now that I have my longarm, I plan on finishing my quilts faster, so that I can enjoy using them.
This close up is a better representation of the colours. I used a lot of bright and cheerful fabrics for the spider webs and they are emphasized further by using the deep moss green to surround them. I really like the mood of this green and my current favourite colour, a cross between deep violet, magenta, red wine, with a touch of purple.
Here is a picture of the backing, where you can see the quilting better. The design is an edge to edge design from Urban Elementz. For this quilt I used 100% cotton batting, but I am thinking that I like the little bit of puff that you get from the 80/20 Hobbs a bit better. To late now, but I think I am a convert. The 80/20 also gives the quilt a little more flow/drape and is a bit lighter weight. The thread I used was Glide, Prickly Pear on the top and Mango on the bottom.
